Day 34

Day 35

Day 35's Tree Mail was a SprintHTC Evo 4G LTE containing videos from the castaways' loved ones: Brenda's dad Raymond, Dawn's husband David, Sherri's husband Jared, Cochran's mom Arlene, Eddie's dad Edward, and Erik's brother Richard. At the Reward Challenge, Brenda's dad Raymond scored the last point to take the win. Jeff called Brenda over and gave her the offer to select one other castaway to join them and Brenda selected Dawn. Jeff then pulled out a second HTC Evo 4G LTE that had a video announcing that, not one, but two loved ones were on the island for the visit. Jeff then told Brenda that she could give up both her and Dawn's visit with their loved ones in exchange for the other four castaways to see their loved ones on the boat. Brenda called the decision a "no brainer" and gave up the reward. While the four were enjoying their visit, Dawn was livid that she missed out on her loved ones' visit back at camp because of Brenda. When the castaways returned from the visit, Cochran was concerned that Brenda's gesture would protect her for the rest of the game and would even get her votes at the Final Tribal Council.

Day 36

At the Immunity Challenge, the challenge came down to Brenda and Dawn. Dawn tried to cut a deal to end the challenge early since Eddie had not won and they would send him to the jury. However, Brenda did not agree to the deal and the challenge continued. Dawn would eventually outlast Brenda to take Individual Immunity. Back at camp, Cochran tried to sell Dawn and Sherri on sending Brenda home. Sherri readily agreed, while Dawn was conflicted on what to do. When the vote came, Dawn followed through with Cochran's plan and blindsided a devastated Brenda by a vote of 3–2–1.

Final Words

“

(crying) I'm just crying because I'm in shock. I think the reason it hurts so much is that I was hesitant to lie to people, I was so true to Dawn. Oh my God, it just hurts so much right now what I'm feeling.

Trivia

Behind the Scenes

Life at Ponderosa

Brenda arrives with a warm welcome and the jury comforts her as she is still distraught over her blindside by Cochran, Dawn, and Sherri. The jury then gives her a brownie, and learns that Brenda lost 10 lbs. over the course of the season. They then talk about the game, the good things, and also trash people, especially Dawn. Phillip says that he doesn't respect Dawn's game and says she has no heart. Brenda is then accepting of her blindside and tells herself that is "the game".

Other

This was the first time in Survivor history where two loved ones came to the island rather than just one.

Jeff erroneously stated that Dawn won her first immunity win in her Survivor career. She won the Immunity Challenge in "Double Agent".
